Publisher's summary

This paper, authored by Mathew J. Lewallen and presented for SPST 613: Satellite Communications at American Military University, focuses on SpaceX's Starlink program and its potential to provide internet access globally, even in the most remote and impoverished regions. It discusses the history of SpaceX and its diverse achievements, including the development of the reusable Falcon 9 rocket and Starlink's conception around 2015. The Starlink system aims to deploy a constellation of about 12,000 low Earth orbit satellites, offering low-latency, high-speed internet. The document covers Starlink's design, operations, different antenna configurations for various users, and the complications it faces, particularly the impact on astronomy due to the reflection of sunlight by the satellites. It also explores the unconventional applications of Starlink, like navigation and infrastructure enhancement, and its unexpected utility in military contexts, notably during the Ukrainian crisis. The conclusion highlights the significance of Starlink in enhancing global internet accessibility, juxtaposed with the challenges it introduces for space traffic and astronomical observations.
